The Prophet - Makeup and Vanity Set

Uh I am convinced that the prophets of doom

Have got to be taken seriously

In other words doomsday is a possibility

I'm equally convinced that doomsday

Is not inevitable

It's become apparent that

Today man's own activities have reached

The scale where they are the principal

Determiners of his own future

For example we are now today effecting more

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere

In the composition of the waters of the world

And even the composition of certain species

In our food chain

We're making more changes in one generation

Than have been made in millions

Of years of evolution

We don't know exactly what will

Be the impact of the changes

But we do know that many of them are irreversible

And many of them could be decisive

In their effects on man's future
